Kuxirra limped along beside Katarine Ryiah . Had she been told to rest her ankle? Yes. Did she listen? No. She had snuck out—again—to help with clearing out the caves.
Born to Serve!
Another day, another mission.
As sat down on the dropship, Zanvic could see the crashed star destroyers buried beneath the sands of Jakku. It was only him for this mission and that was to assist the Jedi Enclave in exploring the newly discovered Jedi tombs. Looks like there was more to this dustbowl than just downed Imp Star Destroyers from hundreds of years ago. Zanvic was to meet a Jedi near the Enclave base he didn't know much about her then again he didn't know much about Jakku nor the Enclave but a mission was a mission.
As the dropship began to descend, Zanvic held his Blaster Rifle close as he exited. "Jedi commander," Zanvic said. "This Sergeant Zanvic reporting for duty may I inquire what can I expect from these ruins?"

Over all the trip to this specific part of the desert... Vexander was quite silent... he just wished that Katarine Ryiah and
Kuxirra Tano-Bonteri
would actually be more concious about their wellbeing for the time being and just remain in the Enclave while recovering... but from what he had seen from both girls... they were pretty strong headed and whatever the bearded man had to say about the matter was quite irrelevant at this point.
Instead, he just decided to tag along and oversee that nothing would just happen to them. Luckly, he have heard that he would get more assistance from another being to make sure that nothing odd would happen but, at the end; they were Jedi... and the Force brought them to curious and different places with all sorts of surprises... Vex just hoped that what the Force had in store from them wouldn't just end up hurting them more than before.
In just an instant, a Sergeant arrived from a dropship... a single soldier sent over to provide support. As soon as he arrived and introduced himself, Vex just smiled and saluted at the Sergeant briefly and casually and then just looked at the girls to see their reactions... afterall, he was here for supervision rather than leading this little fun trail on the desert.

Kuxirra nodded, reaching out with the Force. "I sense it too. Any idea what it could be?"

OOC: Hey! I was just waiting for others to post first, go in a cycle or something and avoid just spamming the thread
Vexander could sense something as well... but the caves of Jakku made everything hard to sense. The Force had a weird way to flow in Jakku... not only because the Enclave was here and was becoming a nexus of lightside... but also because this same planet saw big battles in centuries past, it was a Darkside Nexus due to Palpatine's observatory... and also, because the series of caves underground had different beings that reacted to the Force in different ways.
Still, the bearded Jedi Master just remained calm and was focused in the different winds that the Force would get him, he just remained open to it's currents and waited for things to happen.
Although he remained adamant to the fact that he wouldn't be leading, he did speak up a bit "Hard to tell what it could be Kuxi... but what I can assure you is that our seated friend is quite right, we need to be prepared" He then figured that if something happened, Katarine Ryiah might have to rely a lot on the movement from this floating chair where she was, he caressed his beard a bit "Hey Rine" He didn't know if that is how she liked to be called, but he was getting the habit of just placing his own nicks to everyone lately "Have you been able to test your skill with a lightsaber on that chair? Or does it have any defense features in case... something happens?"

Calling Jakku an inviting place would be an outright lie. It was a desert planet on the far side of Galactic Alliance space that was covered in wrecks from the ancient battle between the Empire and the Rebellion some eight hundred years ago. Native fauna was either hardy or incredibly dangerous - or both. The sentient inhabitants were singularly uninviting and only wanted to be left alone...and that was in those few places where they could actually be found. More than a few simply vanished off into the wilderness to live a life of hermitage.
Audren couldn't blame them in the slightest. This was a planet where one could disappear, very similar in scope to how the legendary Obi-Wan Kenobi used Tatooine so long ago. Having given in to the desire to withdraw from galactic events himself, it was very much understandable. The galaxy was far from any idyllic scenario that could have been contrived when this graveyard of ships had been created; many thought it was getting worse year after year. Oh, there were pockets of space here and there that weren't so bad but it didn't take much to see it in a negative light. Heck, there were probably some who thought eking out a solitary existence here was preferable to facing the Bryn'adul. No doubt that was the sentiment of those present who had faced the Bryn.
On the other hand though, there was a Jedi Enclave hidden away here. It was small and from what he understood could almost be meant as a supplementary location for the primary Orders, hidden away as it was. However, it was also Order-agnostic and news about it was spreading in Jedi circles. Whilst nobody paid any attention to newcomers landing in the desert on Jakku, if enough ships were to gather they would no doubt be noticed.
Not long after he'd arrived, the Sephi had learned about an expedition heading off to clear out some nearby caves for potential expansion. Very much curious about the other Jedi here and fully intending to support himself, he headed out with the mixed group of Jedi and a few soldiers. The robes he wore were woefully inadequate for extended exposure to this arid environment but would fair much better in the caves. He had his lightsaber of course, but also carried a sidearm and a rucksack with gear suitable for caves and some basic desert necessities. Who knew what they'd encounter?
Two of the Jedi in the group were injured, or recovering from injuries. One limped, while the other was fully in a hoverchair. Even with the limited speed, it hadn't been long before the group had arrived at the cave entrance. There they'd been met by yet another soldier, apparently from the Galactic Alliance. Having him here might be useful diplomatically, but when it came to a secret enclave possibly not the wisest decision. The elfin Jedi was himself just a visitor at this point however, so he held his tongue. He even held it when the Jedi woman in the hoverchair voiced her suspicion that they wouldn't find much here but to stay on their toes - most soldiers would have instantly been superstitious about the claim.
The trouble was that he could sense the same thing they did, what had been described as something more. It was all around them yet not and as a result was quite difficult to pinpoint. This specific cave was - to all visual cues - a dead end. The Master's attention kept getting drawn to a particular section of wall however. He didn't know why, it just seemed off. He allowed the others to talk amongst themselves and silently moved to the specific section, barely leaving footprints in the sand. Both his sense of touch and his Force sense moved along the wall. It was definitely....here. His left hand slipped into a hidden cleft up to his wrist and encountered a lever; immediately upon contact he knew that there would have been negative consequences if he'd been a dark side user and touched it.
Never one to wait around talking, Audren pulled the lever. There was barely any friction and no sounds could be heard - clearly this was a masterpiece construction - yet he plainly felt something release with the pull. From his perspective he could see the tiniest crack appear a meter further in. This sliver of darkness was recessed: anyone looking at it directly would see the rough texture of a natural cave wall, but from this perspective it was laser-straight and perfectly vertical. Very much not natural.
"Here."
The Jedi pulled his arm back and wedged his fingers into the crack to begin pulling. The section of wall moved smoothly but was extremely heavy. Super-dense stone maybe, or alchemically-enhanced. He got it open by a few more centimeters before stopping, just enough to clear it from the concealing rim around it.
